The final stage of IPL 2022 is upon, as we reflect on what has been an incredible season so far. Several players have stood out with their noteworthy performances, while some have failed to take up their chances. IPL is one of the most competitive sporting leagues in the world and as such, only the best are allowed to represent their respective franchises.

A few well-reputed players have warmed the bench for the majority of the season, which leaves their IPL future in doubt. This is particularly true for the overseas stars, as up to only four players are allowed to be a part of the playing 11. In this article, we look at five players who might not play IPL next season, either due to poor form or because of spending a chunk of the season out on the bench.

English all-rounder, Benny Howell was picked up in the auction by <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/t20/ipl-indian-premier-league/punjab-kings/">Punjab Kings</a>. The franchise had quality overseas players in its ranks, and as such, it was expected that Howell would spend a majority of the season on the bench. As things went, Benny Howell was not even given one chance to prove a point this season, which upset the Englishman.

Benny Howell posted a couple of cryptic tweets after he was left out from the side to face Sunrisers Hyderabad, in what was a dead rubber. His tweets aimed a jibe at Punjab management for not giving him even one opportunity.

This sends out a message that Benny Howell will be released by the franchise, going into the next season. Moreover, with the likes of Sam Curran and Ben Stokes expected to be included in the auction pool, franchises will likely not go after the Englishman, even if he is included in the auction pool.

Daryl Mitchell earned himself a reputation for being a reliable top-order batter, after his performances in the T20I World Cup last year. The Kiwi batter was picked up by Rajasthan Royals in the auction, in what was surely not their smartest pick. He played just two games in IPL 2022, scoring 33 runs at an average of 16.50.

With the likes of Devdutt Padikkal, Yashashvi Jaiswal, and Jos Buttler available to open the innings for the Royals, Daryl Mitchell did not get enough opportunities out there in the middle. Hence, both parties would look to part ways before the IPL 2023 auction.

Given that he has been far away from the limelight this season, Daryl Mitchell will most likely be unsold in the auction next year. However, he could certainly swing things back in his favor, if the Kiwi batter has a decent year in the international arena.

Aaron Finch has probably represented every IPL franchise out there. The Australian batter was brought in by Kolkata Knight Riders as a replacement for <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/3-players-dc-should-target-in-next-years-ipl-auction/">Alex Hales</a> in IPL 2022. Barring a couple of decent performances, it has been yet another underwhelming season for Aaron Finch. After a few outings with the franchise, he was dropped to the bench towards the end of the season.

Aaron Finch will find himself in the auction pool once again, and once again like this year, the Australian limited-overs skipper will most likely find himself unsold. The veteran batter has been prolific on the international stage, however, he has failed to deliver when it comes to the IPL.

Given that the 50-over World Cup will be conducted next year, Aaron Finch might decide to withdraw his name from the auction pool. The Aussie skipper might prioritize resting himself after a busy summer, especially given the lack of opportunities in IPL.

David Willey did feature in the initial few games for RCB, but the English all-rounder hardly got any chances as the season progressed. The left-arm pacer was picked up by <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/ipl-2022-eliminator-predicted-royal-challengers-bangalore-playing-xi-vs-lucknow-super-giants/">Royal Challengers Bangalore</a> at the auction, and given his experience, he was expected to at least play a bigger role in RCB&#8217;s campaign in IPL 2022.

Bangalore has another left-arm overseas pacer in the form of Jason Behrendorff, who they might give preference to going into the next season. As such, one can expect David Willey to be released by the franchise, heading into the 2023 IPL Auction.

In four outings this season, David Willey has managed to pick up just the one wicket, which is surely not a good record to have on your resume. This probably might be the last time, we are seeing the Englishman play IPL.

Matthew Wade, one of Australia&#8217;s T20I World Cup winning heroes has looked like a pale shadow of himself in IPL 2022. Although <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/ipl-2022-qualifier-1-gt-vs-rr-stats-review/">Gujarat Titans</a> finished on top of the points tally, the Australian batter hardly made any impact with the bat. His poor performance this season raises serious question marks over his involvement next season.

Matthew Wade has played nine matches this season, and he has managed to score just 149 runs at an average of 16.56, and a strike rate of 116.4. This is nowhere close to the figures that were expected of him this season.

Matthew Wade might be among just a few players to be released by the franchise, before the next year&#8217;s auction. Gujarat Titans will certainly look to strengthen their batting, given that their bowling attack is probably among the best in the competition.

IPL 2022: 5 Players who might not play IPL next season

In this article, we look at the five players who may not play IPL next season, after poor performances in IPL 2022.
